The Illinois Frelsnt-Rote War.
,By telegraph 10 the Dispatch

10y trltEtaiN TO Tue Dl'ld NNlI
CmcAGo, December 29.-The Illinois
frcight-rate war is still being prose
cuted with yigor. New moves are con-
tinualy made by the contending factions,
but AS the roads are not publishing
regular tariffs, but make private rates 90
shippers, there is not as much excite
ment, rs there would be otherwise.
What the exact rates from Chicago 20
East st. Louis and other Illinois towns
are ia hard to tel, but it is generally
admitted that they are very low.
There islitue freight beng shipped West
from Chicago to Illinois points, not
withstauding the low rates but as far as
can be ascerlained the Chicago and
Alton gets the bulk Of the business.
This road seems determined to keep
about 10 per cent. below competing
lines. From st. Louis the rates to Chi
cago and Illinois points are getting as
badly demorahzeG as from Chicago
Vest. The general opinion is that the
war will not long he confined 20 Illinois,
but Will spread to all territory west
The low Illinois rates naturally affect
rates to points beyon J, as the combined
locals are less than the through rates.

CHICAGO, December pa Kansas
City dispatch SAYS: There was a grand
Jubilee of slloon-keepers last evening
when it became generally known that
Recorder Davenport had declared the
Sunday.closing ordinance unconstitu-
tional. The decision considered at great
length the right Of the council to give
the recorder power to impose greater
penalties than those allowed by the char
ter. and held that the council did not
have such power as that. \ part OF the
ordinance being void, the whole was, and
the revocation OF license was intended
as part Of the penalty and could not
hold.
The Judge referred to the fact that
1000 signatures had been obtained
pledging his support in case he upheld
the ordinance, and stated that he could
only decide in the way he thought right,
whether public opinion was with him or
not. The case VIII be taken to the SUI
preme Court 10y the temperance element.

Senate amendment to the Naval Appro-
p,iation bill contcmplates the purchase of Cap
tain Ericsson's Destroyer, together with all the
patents and recent improvements owned and de-
signed by him. Other proposals for providing
the Navy with torpedo fleet have been made.
but this is one Of the most practical.
Captain Ericsson's inventions include boat,
a gun and a projectle. The three have been
satisfactorily tested. In the opinion of Ameri-
can naval experts the Destroyer is superior to
any vessel Of the kind invented abroad. The
boat Is submerged like the original monitor.

invulnerable and at the same time is terrible

mite, 1t can subject a hostile feet to racking

vessel, will be wise precaution. General
Gilmore once made the wise remark In con-
nection with such inventions as Captain Erics-
sons, that obstructive energy is neutraized
when placed In opposing hands" The pur-
chase Of the patents will give the Government
absolute control over the invention.

THE PEOPLE WANT 10 KNOW

The Aqueduct Commissioners have decided
to construct the great Quaker Bridge dam.
There Is no telling what it will cost Engineers
estimate the expense all the way from $1,000
600 TO $15,OOO,OOO. Chairman Spencer, of
the Commission, says tho city will be lucky If
it gets off with an outlay Of S1OOOOOOO. Ex-
perience with the operations Of the Commission
and with the usual course Of such bodies in con-
sructing vast public works leads us to fear
that the city will find itself called upon to raise
at least $12.OOO,OOO before this tremendous
undertaking is accomplished.
The Commission ought to know what 1t Is
about Tho city has spent many thousands Of
dollars for expert testimony as to the compar-
alive merits Of this and other schemes OF stor-
ing tho water, and as to the possibility Of per-
fccting this particular dam without peril to the
surrounding country. In It's final decision the
Commission has certainly not acted hastily, and
despite tho serious concern wo must feel, We
shall not undertake to say that |. has acted I'M
wisely. But the expenditure Of so large sum
of money is of grave consequence to the tax
payers, and in their name we warn the Com
mission that every detail in connection with
this scheme must be fully given to the public
and adopted only after the people have had
ample opportunity to consider il.
In other words, those secret meetings Of the
Commission, no matter by what name they are
called or under what pretext they arc held must
bo stopped. The explanation so often offered
by Chairman Spencer, that these secret meet
ngs arc not meetings of the Commission, but
only Of the Committee on Construction, is O
begging Of the question. Every member of the
Commission is also a member of this Commit
tee, and it is all wrong and without the shadow
of an excuse for them to debate schemes for
the expenditure Of millions Of public money in
secret, and then simply adopt in public the re-
suits Of their star-chamber conferences. The
people are entitled to know the mnutcst par
tcuars Of all these matters, every fact and
argument which affects the Commissioners de-
cisons, and we are asonished that the denial
Of such an obvious and necessary right is even
thought of.
1t is to be hoped that it will not be necessary
10 refer to this subject again. and that Mr..
Fishs resolution TO hold all meetings Of the
Commission and its committees publicly will he
adopted. The people will take tho chances Of
any harm that may lc feared rs a result Of this
method Of delibcra,ion. They do not apprc-
ciac the argument that publicity is likely to
affect injunously any desirable purpose and
they prefer, as is their unqucstioncd right. TO
run that risk, rather than the risk OF irrcspons-
bic action upon matters involving so much
money and such grave questions Of public
health and security.
